Jaylin Hermanson
My name is Jaylin Hermanson. I grew up in Michigan, where I first tried disc golf in 2017. I could not throw a disc straight to save my life. I joined the Army and was stationed in Colorado which is where my wife got into Disc Golf. We have two girls and love to bring them out on the course too! We moved to Minnesota and started to get friends and family into the sport. Together we have put a lot of time into improving the St. Urho Disc Golf Course here in Menahga. My favorite disc golf memory was hosting the first ever tournament at St. Urho. My favorite disc is the Latitude 64 Rive. It is the perfect distance driver for long Flex shots. I think Disc Golf is a great sport for anyone to get into because you only need a few discs to start and the bag will grow from there.
Mason Hotakainen
Hey guys, I’m Mason Hotakainen. I’ve been discing for roughly 5 years now. One staple that’s been in my bag from day one is the Discraft Zone. The Zone is such a utility disc, really does it all. I mainly started out as a forehand player, but forehand can only get you so far as a player. Switched to backhand a year ago and boy was it rough at first. But watching form and critiquing my own form compared to professionals went a long way. One of my favorite moments as a discer was my first ace (and 2nd ace), on hole 4 at St. Urho Disc Golf Course. Was very new to backhand at the time and was huge to see progress. I am very excited to start this company and grow it with your help. Hopefully we can continue to grow the sport and we can supply all your discing needs.
Jimmy Hillukka
Hey all, my names James, I've been discing now for about 5 years. Started only throwing forehands and only carrying one disc (Ballista Pro), now have a whole bag full. My favorite disc currently is probably the Discraft Meteor, perfect for long hyzer flips. But my favorite disc has been changing a lot lately as I grow as a player. Favorite Disc Golf memory was my first ace @ St. Urho Disc Golf Course on Hole 3. Was fairly new to throwing backhands at the time so was very nice to see improvement. Always thrown more hyzer so I tend to lean more towards understable to stable discs. Can't thank you guys enough for taking this journey with us.
Tyler Hillukka
Hey I am Tyler, I started discing in the fall of 2022. A bunch of my friends got into discing, and kept trying to get me to try. I finally did and have been hooked ever since. Lately I have been using the Discraft Cicada, and buzz hyzer flipping straight 300-375 foot shots. I really enjoy going to new courses and playing. One of my favorite memories was taking a trip to Emporia Kansas. While down there we played a bunch of pro level courses. #humbling
Trent Hillukka
Trent here. Started discing spring of 2022, and boy was it rough. Even though I haven't disc golfed for long, its one of my favorite past times. Favorite disc currently is by far the Dynamic Discs Raptor Eye SockiSlammer. The Slammer is a heavy overstable approach disc, perfect for 200 feet and in. Favorite memory will be my first ace, but until then its the Emporia Kansas Trip. Peter Pan Disc Golf Course is still today my favorite course. Even though I'm still fairly new to discing, I hope you can trust our opinions on the highest quality discs for you. Thanks!
